End Of The Beer Show
All hands - to the pumps
The figures bring no cheer
Landlords down in many dumps
Small beer
West and east, north, south
There's trouble brewing – ale
Landlords froth and foam at mouth
No sale
The glass is half-full
Bars are not a-twitter
Landlords feel the push, not pull
Bitter
Counters, no number
Think how the punters laughed
Landlords feel it in their slumber -
A draught
Winter's a whole drought
No drunk with his festive carol
Landlords fear they cannot roll out
The barrel
Shut down the far bar
Close the saloon bar too
Landlords hear no brouhaha
No brew
